How to read the Art of War
How I did it: I got my book this summer and I had started it but never got around to finishing it, so basically I just pick it up and read it in about 4-5 days... when I really started reading it. :)
Lessons & tips: I feel everyone gets something different out of reading the art of war... I liked it I aways wanted to read from the moment I heard of it... its a really good book.

I’m starting to read the Tao Te Ching at the moment, so I’m gonna lay off this book for a while. I think for now, I’ll just re-read the Art of War any time I’ve got nothing else to read.

Let me just start off by saying that Sun Tzu’s The Art of War is a great piece of work. It’s principles are also still applicable in this day and age, and many people can benefit from it. It is, without a doubt, one of favorite books.
I’ve already finished reading the book once, now I want to go back and read it over slowly. Analyze the lines. Think it over. Absorb it. Use it.

Recent events at work make me think I need this. Sigh.
Although written almost 2500 years and focused on the strategies of war, there are still lessons on leadership and strategy that can be learned by reading this book. Be prepared to find the meaning behind the text on the pages… unless, of course, you have a small army of infantry, archers, and chariots at your disposal, in which case the text may be directly applicable.
Although I found it, not really worth it. I still encourage others to pursue it. You have to read it to make your own opion.
I base my opion on the fact that it was worthwhile to read it and think about all the guidelines in it. But it has’nt had the profound impact on me as I would thought it would be.
Still it’s interesting to have read it.
